Welcome!

Welcome to Litopia Writers’ Colony, one of the web’s oldest and most significant writing communities.

Established some five years ago by literary agent Peter Cox, Litopia is in equal measure word palace, literary salon and sweat shop.

Beyond those things, Litopia has one of the most distinctive feelings of any community of the internet. Run by writers for writers, the Colony prides itself on its strong collegiate atmosphere. This is a place where talent can be incubated, friendships forged, and careers ignited.

If your work has promise, it will be developed here. Using our unique system of houses and tiered forums, your work can progress all the way from initial draft through to the proposal and beyond. You can even pitch directly to an agent – and get valuable feedback.

At the social heart of the Colony is an area we call Café Grande: a vibrant literary salon in the grand European manner. Here you'll find high-minded banter rubbing shoulders with low-down wit: just what a literary salon ought to be. Express an opinion, share a yarn, catch up with industry gossip or just spend time recharging your gray matter. Stimulating company is guaranteed!

Membership is free. On initially joining, you become a Registered Member, with wide access to many forums and facilities. Once you have participated here for two months, you may apply for Full Membership, which gives you further access as below:
